3:00 am
>> right. on "the real housewives of beverly hills" are the only ones that are rich. the other ones have chefs. how does that person afford a chef? >> they're not paying a mortgage. >> when people see that, they think, i want that. that's attainable. and it's not really attainable. it's not sustainable. >> it's not real life. >> at the first four years at abc news, i did not do the 401(k). and it was as simple as signing my name on a piece of paper. but it seemed complicated to me. and i lost a lot of money for that. >> don't feel like a moron. people learn when they learn. and they start doing it when it's right for them in their lives. the younger somebody starts, though, the better. >> right. >> i am always excited when a 20-something says to me, i've been listening to you since i was in elementary school. and i have my 401(k) or i have my roth account. i want someone to have that sense that they can take charge of their future. >> clark howard, a huge fan of yours. "living large in lean times" is the book. >> thank you. >> i'm a big fan of his. you can see my full conversation on ac360.com. thanks for watching. "pierce morgan" starts now. see you tomorrow. tonight, freefall. the worst stock market selloff since the crisis of 2008. what's scaring wall street. what does it mean for your money and where will it all end. tonight, we'll ask ali velshi.
3:01 am
erin burnett on what to expect next. then the most outspoken woman in the country is live and unleashed. >> my goal is to keep anderson cooper fired. i'm going to be on piers morgan next thursday. cnn, i like you, but you're no nancy grace. >> i see. kathy griffin on success. >> awards are more important than people or family. oh. >> her thoughs on casey anthony. >> the casey anthony watch with the mask and is she going to get plastic surgery? i can give you a couple of phone number, frankly. >> and her life on the d-list. that's kathy griffin on "piers morgan tonight." good evening. a live interview with the explosive kathy griffin. but first, breaking news tonight good evening. a live interview with the explosive kathy griffin. but first, breaking news tonight on the economy. the dow plunging 512 points to the worst single day since the financial crisises in 2008. all fallen 10% in the last ten days. what should you do with your money?
3:02 am
ali velshi, what the hell is going on? >> we all have to take our turns in causing global meltdowns in this small, small world. today was europe's turn. the central bank attempted to shore up the euro and buying bonds in euros, putting money into the system. it had the opposite effect. it caused investors to run for the hills. but, you know, they couldn't get enough out while european markets were open. and it moved into u.s. markets. it was basically the sense that we are so uncertain about where the global economy is going, and we've got this back and forth between the world's two biggest economies, the europeans and the american, that people just decided to take their money out and basically do the equivalent, the global equivalent of taking your money and stuffing it in a mattress. everybody just wanted to pull out and say i don't want to go into tomorrow where this unemployment number is coming out in the morning, not able to get out of my positions. they did it ahead of time. it just compounded on itself, fear took over. and people started selling their stocks in this mass momentum move. >> erin, this is really
3:03 am
globalization. and so is the economy at its most raw. what you're seeing is kind of a multilayered rippling down of the economy around the world. you've got europe self-imploding, you've got chinese economy slowing. they've downgraded the american economy in their eyes. you have japan suffering after the earthquake, america tanking as well. when you put all these things together, you have one unholy mess, don't you? >> yes, you sure do. with all the distraction of the debt ceiling conversation. the world's economy, which is the american economy, walking around with a broken leg, two broken arms and someone came along and punched it in the nose. that's unneeded, this whole debt ceiling debacle. but yes, it is interrelated and it shows you how much the world needs the american economy to stay strong. as ali is pointing out, in aggregate, the european is the second biggest. as a single economy, china is the second biggest, and we're still three times bigger than china despite its rise. the world needs america to get better and the economic data has
3:04 am
just been pretty darn week. >> ali, just to come back on that point, it seemed to me the procrastination going on in washington the last three weeks has been deeply unhe have helpful. what it did at a really vulnerable time at a global economy is create more and more uncertainty. you seem to have this real disconnect now between the politicians, particularly here in america and what is really going on with the global economy. >> yeah. i think it's fair to say at this
3:05 am
point, it was ridiculous. this was sane thetic crisis, the debt of the united states and any other country is is a serious, serious matter. but we created this issue where the u.s. could have potentially defaulted on its debt. there are places like italy where a default is actually a possibility. places like greece where default was actually a possibility. what this has done is it's causeds in tors to say where is my money safe. it's not safe where there really is the possibility of default. it's not safe in america where they were ready to default. you're absolutely right. this contributed to the crisis. we had the greece situation where we had rioting in the streets. we went right into the u.s. debt situation, and before that was resolved. we got low gdp numbers in the united states, we got low manufacturing numbers, low consumer spending numbers. there hasn't been a break anywhere to see a little sunshine through the clouds. and what you saw is the cumulative effect of that weighing on world markets today. >> and we're expecting pretty grim job figures tomorrow. that's one of the reasons people believe the markets here tanked so quickly and so badly. what are you hearing about that? >> look, the job situation as we all know, piers is bad, and of course, the big problem is nobody knows how to create jobs.
3:06 am
and there is no magic bullet. and we all know that. so yes, they're probably going to be weak. if you get a little bit better than expected in um ber, you're going to get respite in the market, but you're not going to get a number that symbolizes job growth. that's a big problem you're continuing to see across the board. it's weak out there, piers. and it's going to take a long time to get better. lot of investors were buying u.s. debt and they were doing that thinking that the fed is going to have to step in and do extraordinary measures yet again top try to quote, unquote, fix a problem of a market that's falling and an economy that could be fall back into a double dip. >> what is your take on this? is it as bad as 2008 and what do we do about this? >> it's really tricky to mention the words, 2008. that gets people really, really afraid. if you pick on what erin is just saying. investors buying american debt, that is the bright spot. we still look better than everybody else out there.
3:07 am
the yield on the ten-year is now below 2.5%. as long as that keeps going on, i think that's a positive sign for the american economy. >> but it's very hard, isn't it? to accentuate the positives on a day like this. you've seen the dow crashing every day now for nine, ten days. a record run. there's no good news out there. there's nothing, as erin is saying for people to get their teeth into, okay, there's a bit of recovery. >> right. there is no good news out there. i think there's a sense of us being less bad off than everybody else. let's look at american companies. they're making money. american consumers are not spending, that's a bad thing. we look at it in the aggregate, we're better than everybody else. in a horrible environment, that has to be accounting for something. >> this is bad news for president obama whichever way yo look at it. as we get nearer to election near, the economy is going to be the standout issue. what does he do about the situation? can he do anything? it seems ironic to me that all the politicians disappear to
3:08 am
their summer holidays, just at the precise moment the real debt crisis takes over. >> it's been a pretty bad birthday week for him. one thing and then the other. >> happy 50th, mr. president. >> it's all down here from here, man. >> extend a payroll tax break to employees and give one to employers. so if you hire someone new, you don't have to pay that payroll tax. and they're trying to come up with ways to incentivize companies to hire, because it all comes down to jobs. and obviously there's things you could simplify the tax code, you could allow them to bring money home from overseas and not have to pay taxes on it. you could do all those things, but they all require democrats and republicans working together. and that, as we all have seen is an embarrassing spectacle. it's not going to happen. >> people have just watched the politicians behaving so self-servingly and selfish at a time when actually there were
3:09 am
much more serious things to worry about than the debt ceiling. i come back to this disconnect between them and the reality. it's hard to see if they keep this mentality up, how they're going to physically deal with the real problem. >> even if they were more cooperative with each other, europe doesn't have the same degree of discord between the political parties on the issue of debt reduction as we've seen in the united states. certainly there are people on both sides who think there should be austerity and people who think there should be more stimulus. but neither are as entrenched as people in the united states are. they can't solve the problem in europe. even being closer to a solution, they can't actually exercise the policy decisions that help the economies. what are we going to do here when we're so entrenched on all this. u.s. companies are remarkably profitable right now and a lot of the revenues are coming in from selling to countries which are doing very well, incluing india and china.
3:10 am
while it's still slowing it's a remarkably fast growing economy. we are not a position to take advantage of this because of policy decisions here in the united states and policy difficulties in europe. if you're an investor looking for a great place to invest, it's just har to find one at the moment. >> let me come to you on that point. oil, silver, gold, copper all down as well. the traditional havens of safety are taking a hit as well. where do people put their money right now? >> the only place we're seeing is they're putting them in treasury bills. and stuffing it under the ma tress. >> is that a sensible thing to be doing? >> there's a case to be made, given the political discordcord we have in congress is going to continue. that bodes pretty ill for everybody in the power. not just the president, but the republicans and democrats. >> should mr. bernanke be getting his wallet out here? >> this is a pretty tough thing. all the changes we saw in financial reform. now for the fed to do more extraordinary measures to get people to borrow and invest money in this country, they actually have congressional approval, you hear qe-3 thrown around, it's unclear if that
3:11 am
would be effective. but it would have to get approval from congress which brings us back to that problem. it's really going to be a last resort effort for the fed to try to do more. they do meet next week, by the way, piers, but interest rates are almost zero so there's not very much they can do in terms of their traditional path. they're going to need congress. >> and a li, on the stimulus that president obama brought in. is it widely accepted this has failed? >> it's widely accepted that it was not nearly as effective as anybody thought it was going to be. some call it an outright failure. some say its effectiveness -- it wasn't exercised with any precision. here's the danger, though. predecision works both ways, whether it's stimulus or whether it's cuts. so this super congress that has to come up with a deal by thanksgiving, if they don't come up with a deal, there's these across the board cuts. there are many experts who say
3:12 am
wasn't exercised with any precision. wasn't exercised with any precision. here's the danger, though. predecision works both ways, whether it's stimulus or whether it's cuts. so this super congress that has to come up with a deal by thanksgiving, if they don't come up with a deal, there's these across the board cuts. there are many experts who say this is very, very dangerous because across the board cuts are the same as a nonsurgical stimulus. we need surgical approaches to how we fix this economy. erin pointed out a few of them. some policy changes that could help employers to hire people. we need real specific direction, not across the board anything, whether it's stimulus or cuts. >> well, given the fact they can't even agree on a debt ceiling debate for three weeks, i have no hope for that. i want to ask you all for a one word yes or no response to this question. i start with you, kai. are we heading into another recession, a double-dip recession?
3:13 am
>> we can't head into another one because we're still in the old one. >> i was going to say that, kai took my words away. >> i get to go first. >> not going to get a yes or no from many sne. >> you're going to get a no from me. >> so you're still remaining reasonably positive despite one of the most horrendous says in three or four years. >> we need people like you, piers, to keep spending money. >> well, i know that. i just don't share the optimism. i think there are very serious problems. and i hope the politicians stop squabbling and sort it out. thank you very much. and as a footnote of that, we can reveal if you want someone to blame, look no further than the smurfs who have opened the new york stock exchange. and since then, we've seen the dow fall by 1,000 points. so there we are. the three figures to blame are the smurfs. coming up, the most outspoken woman in the country. that's what she says. here she comes, america. it's kathy griffin. i'm already terrified.

the seven-second delay was invented for my next guest, kathy griffin here live. a woman who will literally say anything. >> absolutely. now, is there a delay between the table? is there a magical seven seconds -- >> you jumped on me before the break. >> so what. i thought we would start with a lap dance. >> you were doing a lap dance. >> i saw you do the same thing with condoleezza rice and you did not complain. >> this thing about you being the most outrageous woman in america. >> do you seek outrage? >> it's fun. i like to see people like that. >> do you have any limits? >> no, i have no limits, no filter, no class, no poise.
3:18 am
no decorum. just fun. >> do you care about making enemies? because some people really do take it badly. don't they? >> you mean the tea party? >> the ladies of "the view." some people really want to kill you. >> that's true. >> sarah palin would like to kill you. >> yes. i actually wept to her house in my episode of "the d list." emmy nominated. >> and cancelled. >> it's not canceled! i'm counting backwards from ten. i went to wasilla, alaska, went to sarah ppalin's house and knocked on her door. i invited her to a show. i offered her a two for one ticket, which i rarely do. and she did not come. but she has an open invite to come see me live anytime. >> she hates you. >> i know. >> you were pretty vile about her daughter. >> she says some pretty outrageous things.
3:19 am
>> filter? >> not with the the palin, not with the bachmanns. >> are we talking about bristol who made $250,000 last year doing speeches about teen abstinence. they'll be okay. >> tell me about the market crash. >> who better to ask. >> you're an american citizen. you spend money. >> kathy geithner. when you think money, you think secretary griffin 37. >> kathy bernanke. in all seriousness, what do you think about what's happening in your commune tri? >> i thank the audience for buying a ticket because it's a big deal. buying a ticket, paying for a baby-sitter. so i'm conscious as ever as are other performers i know. it's frightening but we're going to get through it. >> do you think washington politicians have any real connect now to the american public? >> yeah.
3:20 am
they're human beings. i mean, this particular bunch is a little frightening to me, but i still support the president, which in hollywood by the way, makes you a terrorist. i even liked jimmy carter. so shoot me now, shoot me in my sleep. but i think he's a very bright guy. and also people seem to forget that during the clinton administration, you know, there was no debt at all. i mean, it was gone. and then during eight years of bush, i really feel like that -- it was almost an untenable situation for the president. >> but the problem for the president is he inherited clearly a massive -- >> let's not forget that he inherited it. >> but let's not also forget that the situation has got worse, despite the stimulus -- >> how do you make a deal with people who don't want to make a deal? >> but the stimulus package clearly hasn't been working. the economy is beginning to tank. >> are you accidentally doing your john boehner interview? >> you're a smart businesswoman -- >> well, everybody knows that. i'm a straight suze orman.
3:21 am
i'm like a heterosexual suze orman. >> i'll take it. >> you can have it in 20 minutes. let's wrap this up. >> why are you shy about being serious about the economy? why do you find it so absurd that i would ask you. >> i probably do more political humor now than i ever have. these politicians, they have quotes, they're the gift that keeps on giving. sometimes i'll just read the quotes on stage and see what material comes to me. >> are the tea party characters a particular gift? >> are you praying the gay away? because you know what, i'm obsessed with marcus bachmann's clinic. his repair tif clinic where he tries to degay people. that's called high school. it doesn't work. i tried to get the boys in musical to put it in my no-no place. we're not going to delay that, are we? that's harmless. >> it's live. it comes straight out. keep going. >> i want to get you thrown off. that's my goal.
